Democracy

If we look over the past 35 years in America, Capital is crushing Labor by a score of 708 to 15. Adjusted for inflation, business valuations have increased 708 %, while labor wages have increased just 15%.

Over the past 10 years, Romanian institutions have become widely respected in the areas of central banking, anti-terror, cyber security, military and justice. The gaping hole in Romania’s democracy is a broken, structurally flawed Parliamentary system.

“What has happened to America?” This is the question I am often asked by Europeans. It is not a question asked with satisfaction or gloating. It is asked with concern that the symbol of individual freedom and hope is fading.

American foreign policy has become reactionary and naive. American domestic policy has stepped backwards 100 years to the era when politicians were administrators for the wealthy.

Democracy sounded good to Romanians in 1990, but tastes pretty sour today. Over seventy billion dollars of State assets stolen, personal savings wiped out by inflation, factories shut-down, stifling bureaucracy, incomprehensible laws, jail terms for the little guy, criminal amnesty for politicians, declining public education, wretched healthcare systems, environmental devastation, massive exodus of the young generation, lonely old people living in poverty, and a rapidly declining population.

Political Corruption is a disease that kills thousands of Romanians each year. It kills because money that should be spent on healthcare is stolen and ends up in Politician’s and Political Party bank accounts. The costs of Political Corruption are seen every day in our deteriorating education system, outdated trains, and non-existent highway system.

About me

Over last decade I have made over 100 round trips between Romania and America. Some consider me a mentor, usually I am the student. In the small voices, on the eastern edge of the western world, I have heard words that might help replace barriers with bridges. And make a little more sense of the struggles we face.

Inclusive Principles of Parliamentary Democracy

Oak Trees of Freedom

The Foundation of Democracy is the right of the people to elect a fellow citizen to represent their interests. People do not elect a political party, they elect an individual Representative to serve them.

Democracy is social science that acknowledges human weakness - that people are selfish and power corrupts. Societies with broad based prosperity create 'check and balances" between independent institutions.

Prosperous democracies are NOT built on attracting foreign businesses with cheap labor or sophisticated economic policies. They are built on investing in people. They help each citizen grow into the unique individual they were created to be. It is called ‘Individual Empowerment'.
